Here is some information about the "Juden Raus" game (the first site is in English, the other two in German):

According to one source it was a complete flop, but according to another more than one million games were sold in 1938...

Well, it's hard to make sense of those fragments, but on the left side there are things like "Marabou" ,“abs. Intelligence”, “She loves”, “and Crete. Her”, then something that could mean “aphrodisiac” and “Mediterranean”, “from the”, “a mountain temple”, that”, “demigod”, “Santa Claus”, “is and with”, “married”, “water and”.

The words on the right, in black, probably are “urbanism”, “and yesterday”.

And below that, in red, what looks like a dictionary lists words like “witch”, “erotic witch”, “sorcerer”, “medicine”, “ruthless (wizard)”, “mermaid”, “erotic”, “moral”, “water”, “evil and good spirits”, “thoughts”, “angel of space”, “of omniscience, of reason”, “ and aesthetic musical from Mount Olympus”.

how is security, do they patrol often?

wow that is amazinggg, woooowww

shame it had to be demolished..

but its sad they let a place like this go to waste.. because it could have helped some people see how it was like to be in some state hospitals and this one was shut down because of lack of money.. such a shame

just a shame that people had to ruin such history. and it happens in a lot of places not just phily..

yes i agree with angel.. and another thing is this place is haunted beyond belief.. and i couldnt imagine what some of the people went thru because they did not understand the mental health.. and the trephening i heard about man.. who would wanna drill a hole in someones head to release the demons
*shutter*

some people do not understand what some others know because they have been in state hospitals.. i never have been but i could imagine

it would be so cool to get an EVP from Byberry.. and the graffit no offense but what do you expect from some people from the philly area.. they have no respect for history.. and so many gangs and all down there.. so sad

i couldnt imagine being in a facility like that and what i hear about norristown and all too its scary but so true

most of them went crazy because of DSH.
